After his release from a POW camp in 1946, Paul and older brother Hans set about rebuilding family's candy company. Brothers still run $2 billion (estimated sales) Haribo GmbH, makers of Goldbären and cola bottles, among other treats. While Hans manages the business, Paul oversees production and technical affairs. Two of his 3 sons, Hans-Guido and Hans-Arndt, work at Haribo. Their brother Hans-Jürgen, who was considered heir apparent, recently left the company after reportedly having a falling-out with Uncle Hans, who has no children of his own.
